Sam Harris: ‘Islam is antithetical to civil society’

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Via nullifidian, Sam Harris has opined on Islam and violence.

LiveLeak.com has finally released Geert Wilders’ anti-Islam movie “Fitna”. I caught it at Unorthodox Atheism last night.

Edit again: IT’S BACK!

I thought about watching it a second time so I [...]
